Hi Everyone , I have some question, I need some help , I have MS425 Switch, but the MS 425 Core Switch not 10G electrical port, I need 10G electrical port connect my Storage Server, So everyone , do you have kosher Light-electricity module 10G? can you recommend me ? Thanks。
Solved! Go to solution.
Ok perhaps you mean a 10GBaseT connection, meaning the server has a 10GBaseT copper RJ45 LAN connector? Meraki does not make a 10GBaseT SFP+ module. These are not common in the industry. 10GBaseT does consume more power (runs hotter) and has higher latency than using copper twinax direct attach cables or optical modules, so I think it'll be much more common to connect servers via direct attach cables (or optics). You might be able to use a 3rd party 10GBaseT SFP-10G-T SFP+ module since Meraki does not lock out non-Meraki SFPs, but I don't think it would not be officially supported. Or perhaps another option is a 3rd party 10GBaseT copper to fiber media converter, and connect your server via Cat6/7 to the RJ45 port and use a Meraki direct attach cable like MA-CBL-TA-1M to connect between the media converter and MS425.
I'm not fully understanding your request but the MS425 should have 2 or 4 10G SFP+ Fiber ports according to the data sheet.

I typically only purchase Meraki Fiber SFP's to ensure compatibility and supportability.

Yes, I know you mean , maybe I description not well , Now,I have two MS425, and one storage server, the Storage server is copper wire, i need use copper wire connect my ms425, So I need optical fiber transform to copper , Do you have a suitable optical fiber module recommended?
HI , I need 10G copper (electrical) modules

yes. you are right, i already use SFP-10G-T, I am currently testing it ,I will take your advice, thank for you answer!
William, have you taken a look at our MS350-24X switches? These switches provide Multigigabit Ethernet connectivity, which will provide 10Gbps over Cat6 copper cables, as defined by the NBASE-T Alliance.

or
If I have understood you correctly.
Using 10GBase-T transceiver to connect MS425-32 and storage server. However, Meraki does not make a 10GBaseT SFP+ transceiver. U can purchase one from 10Gtek which have a good compatibility with Meraki.
